The Working Elephant

 

Yes, from India (or maybe Ceylon / Sri Lanka), we have a slide of a log-dragging elephant.

Not much else to say.

Bonus.  Last night, Donald Trump marked 100 days in power. 

And he thinks he's done really really well.

Let that sink in for  moment.

Scorecard

Crossing the Road

 

It's not often that I find a slide features quite a lot of people, and some questionable fashion choices, but fits into the Tedious Tuesday category.

Today is one of those occasions.

Bonus - April Fools Day ... nah. Can't be arsed.

Bonus 2 - 

Ummm.... What?

 

Ok.  It's obvious really.  Some sort of .... performance.

The clothing style makes me think "Korea", but other than that. I got nothing.

But - The Clay Smoking Pipe thru' the neck?   Weird.

SUGGESTION - Some sort of Rainbow / Gay Gandalf Cosplay?

Bonus - The story goes people would be drinking, eating or dancing in a ­cellar tavern or cabaret when a wall would collapse and decomposing bodies fall in on them

Out Standing In His Field

 

Leaving aside the dreadful pun, this is actually quite an interesting slide. 

Obviously, no info on the slide - not even a date for it, so it's fun to look for clues.  The colour slide, suit, bow tie and two-tone shoes make me think 1940s or 50s, but the vehicle doesn't look particularly oversize like most American cars.  

In fact, it looks very much like a  Ford Popular. That model was produced by Ford UK, and the fact that it has a steering wheel on the right, and an AA badge seems to confirm that We're Not In Kansas.

The scenery and the field of....crops doesn't help much.

More interesting is the car number plate - " B-4570 US Forces in Germany."

Also interesting - 

The First Attempt At The Channel Tunnel

 

After 25 weeks of digging in Folkestone, Rajiv and Gunther had managed to get almost 34 feet towards France.

Sad, but innevitable.

Bonus - 

Q

Bringing In The Harvest

 

An almost timeless scene.

Except for some primitive threshing machine (I guess), this could be from anytime in the past 300 years, provided that Kodachrome 35mm film existed.

Bonus -  This CANNOT be a good idea

Jumbo Traffic

 

Probably the best way to move logs thru' the jungle.   

And everyone loves hefferlumps.

Bonus - Tiger Encounter And How To Survive A Tiger Attack.

1. Don't Run

2. Use your child

3. Don't piss yourself.
